Ben Watson from Watford maybe? He doesn't get much playing time this season, (injuries?). But now they signed Cleverley on loan, so maybe he is available.

Yeah Ghana didn't call Adomah, but Ayew of course.

Bunn had his best performance for us. Gabby was not that bad, but I still plan to make a hibernation while there is an Africa Cup.

Yes! Oh god January/February will be hard!

What a shite shot.

Bring Grealish and Gabby on. I don't care. At least some change.

"well defended by Hutton". Hm never heard that before.

Yeah that was a penalty. Oh man. Are there any above average championship referees?

Great defending at the corner flag!

Grealish

Robinho. Where does he play mow? In China?

Hemed their striker and another israeli in midfield kayal? are also national players.

Man. I hate selfishness like that.

Gollini - looks a better goalkeeper now. Maybe we can trust him, but he will make mistakes ealier or later. Bacuna - doesn't offer much, hasn't got the best attitude, but do we have a better rb? De Leat maybe but all in all we need a better one. Elphick - He is a leader, yes, but not a good footballer, and an average defender on Championship level. Chester - can't really rate him, as he's a little bit discreet. But that's not a bad thing. Baker - goo,d important tackle on Gayle, but he's not a very good player. Amavi - He feels so much more lively than Cissokho, and yes he's an offensive threat, but needs to improve on his defense, but defo the best full back we have. Jedinak - very bad game, very slow, but he was not bad at Palace, so it's controversal that he's wank on Championship level. Give him a little bit more time. Westwood - I can understand the frustration of seeing him play weekly, because he is far from an exciting, quality player, but either him or Jedinak has to play. And what I saw here, Westwood is better. But I don't say he's a better player as Jedinak, he really isn't. Tshibola - I am really excited about him, as he is a good young player with some potential. And it seems like he's ready to proof himself as an important player in our future. He's already arguably our best central midfielder, and I am looking forward to see him start weekly. I hope RDM is not blind. When he isn't, he must start him, there is no excuse for letting him on the bench. Adomah - He was a quality player at Boro the last couple of years, and I think he can be quality for us, too. But in this game Kodjia and Ayew where clearly in the spotlight. Ayew - Hasn't had so many chances to really shoot on goal but when he has, he's so dangerous. Qualitywhise our best player (besides Kodjia) but he needs to start scoring goals. One thing I really worry about is him and Kodjia beeing at the Africa Cup in the winter. That will really hurt us. Kodjia - Fantastic second half, and even in the first half our best player. But again. He needs to start scoring goals too, because than we'll be fine, and we'll get back on track. He is also a really exciting player to watch. So we have some joy ladies and gentleman. Gestede - poor footballer as u saw after the pass from Kodjia, but I also think RDM should use him constantly, as a sub or as a starter. That should depent on who's the opponent. Hepburn-Murphy - nice talent, with desire. But u saw in the one scene that he's not ready yet. But RDM should continue to give him chances of the bench, and help him develop. With Grealish and McCormack coming back, I see us winning the 1 of the next 2 games. Barnsley and Preston are not to underestimate, but we should beat them as we are one of the best teams in the league and they aren't. Anyway good point in the end. But we need to play more offensively in the next games and stop trying out so many different systems.

Both are obviously not good enough but Bunn has more experience and hasn't been that bad. And also in Fifa 16 Bunn had an +4 advantage over Gollini (73,69) so that seems more realistic. You can easily switch them two. It is not that dramatical for me.

Hi. I would like to hear your suggestions on the player ratings of our players in Fifa 17. Here are my suggestions. But before I start I want to say pls be a little bit realistic and not say Gabby 23 or Richards 44. So I rate our squad like this: GK - Bunn 69 GK - Gollini 68 GK - Steer 67 RB - Hutton 69 RB - De Laet 72 RB - Bacuna 70 CB - Chester 74 CB - Elphick 73 CB - Richards 73 CB - Baker 71 LB - Amavi 76 LB - Cissokho 71 CM - Westwood 72 CM - Jedinak 75 CM - Tshibola 68 CM - Lyden 64 CM - Gardner 70 LM - Grealish 72 LM - Green 63 RM - Adomah 73 CF - McCormack 77 ST - Ayew 76 ST - Kodjia 74 ST - Agbonlahor 69 ST - Gestede 72 ST - Kozak 68 ST - Hepburn-Murphy 62 Have I forgotten someone? And what do u think about this topic? Let me know.

The first Villa game I remember watching was an exciting game against Chelsea in the Martin O'Neill era. It was a great performance by us, offensively at least. I wish that team would still be around. I looked it up.

Seems to be a very good player on Championship level. But I gotta say. What I saw out of him on PL level (games against Sunderland and West Brom) was far from convincing. Let's hope he can swing those crosses in for Rudy and Jonny. We made very good Championship experienced/Championship proven signings. That should be the right way to get back up.

Great signing. Let's hope his first half of the season isn't that great (no Africa cup), and then he explodes in the second half. We are Villa, so it will probably go according to plan, for the first half of the season...

I don't know if Tony has that much money left in his locker.

Shocking. Pls Call Bent back. I don't wanna see Kozak ever again leeding the line. I can play better than him....

I would play Gabby over Kozak any day of the week lol.

RIP Dilian. I must admit that I never heard of him before. Seemed to be a vital player for us in the early 90s, where I wasn't born. Was it the policemans fault, or was it accidental?

****. U cant watch it from Germany. First goal was clearly a header from Rudy after a cross from Cissokho (Oh I forgot that Cissokho cant cross, so I quickly edited my post...). But the other 2? Can someone pls tell. Anyway very nice victory. We won 4-0 at Sunderland two seasons ago. The last time we won by a bigger margin than 2 I think.

Dominic Solanke on loan? I think there is a chance for that to happen. The question is, is he a 10+ goalscorer on Championship level already? For me yes when he gets the right service. If we would get him I would buy 1 more striker tho and get rid of 2.
